To not invite whole class?

[Awcw1234]

My DD is in Y1 and has been to a number of parties this year/reception. She didn’t have a party last year because of covid so this is her first proper birthday party.

My DD’s birthday is approaching and we have booked a party at a venue that charges per head. My DD wants a soft play party so understands it is expensive. However, AIBU to ask DD to only invite half of her class? It would mean that some of children who have invited my DD to their parties won’t be invited. Invites will be sent out discreetly.

Thanks

@CourgetteSeason it’s not that bad honestly! I can say that now mine are 20 and 17.

There was a period when there seemed to be a party every weekend but that really does tail off after a couple of years - as kids get older the ‘3 friends karting/riding/cinema becomes the norm.

People get really hung up on what they can afford- I remember one party where the mum asked everyone to meet at a local park where there was an adventure playground and bring their own picnic - she provided birthday cake and party bags. The kids all loved it!

Me too! Mines not even born yet - never mind saving for university, best start saving for all those parties they’ll need to reciprocate
